Made For More.

The MadeForMORE Champion of The MONTH 🏆

Katie B

Quietly strong, endlessly consistent, and always smiling — Katie, you truly embody what it means to be MadeForMORE. 💛

Recent Triumphs 🏆
• 37.5kg Bench Press 💪
• 57.5kg Back Squat 🔥
• 9:06 2KM Row 🚣‍♀️
• 1067m 5-Min Run Test 🏃‍♀️

Katie is the definition of modest. Beneath that humble nature is someone who is incredibly strong, fit, and capable.

Over the past year, she’s fully embraced the MadeForMORE ethos, and her hard work has really shown during our latest 10-week programme. Knocking an incredible 24 seconds off her 2KM row, building strength across the board, and seeing positive changes in muscle mass are all testament to her consistency.

Despite life with a little one at home and not always getting the perfect night’s sleep, Katie still shows up, works hard, and brings so much joy to every class she attends.

She proves that progress isn’t about perfection—it’s about showing up, again and again.

Katie, we’re so proud of everything you’ve achieved. You’re an absolute superhero, and a very deserving Champion of the Month. 🦸‍♀️✨

You truly are MadeForMORE.

Love,

Your MadeForMORE Team ♥️

If Coach Jacob could only choose two exercises, these would be them 👇

💪 Dips

One of Jacob’s favourite upper body exercises because they’re simple, effective and easy to progress. Whether the goal is strength or muscle, dips are hard to beat.

Why they’re so effective:
• Train the chest, triceps and front delts through a large range of motion
• Easy to progressively overload by adding weight
• Great for both strength and muscle growth
• Carry over well to other pressing movements

• Great for both strength and muscle growth

💪🏽 Incline Dumbbell Curls

If Jacob had to choose one biceps exercise, this would be it.

The incline position places the biceps under more stretch at the start of each rep, helping create a strong stimulus for muscle growth while making it much harder to cheat.

Why they’re worth doing:
• Train the biceps in a lengthened position
• Greater range of motion than most curl variations
• Less opportunity to use momentum
• Easy to progressively overload

SUNDAY SHOUT OUT 🗣️

If Coach Jade could only choose two exercises, these would be them 👇

💪 Pull-Ups / Chin-Ups

One of Jade’s favourite exercises because they build real, functional strength.

They challenge bodyweight control, grip strength and upper-body strength all at once. They’re tough, and there’s nowhere to hide—you have to put the work in to earn every rep.

Why they’re so effective:
• Build strength through the lats, biceps, upper back and core
• Improve grip strength and body control
• Develop relative strength by moving your own bodyweight
• Provide a clear measure of progress, whether you’re working towards your first rep or adding extra reps each week

🏋️ Back Extension

Jade’s second pick is the back extension—a simple exercise with huge benefits that carry over into everyday life.

In her experience, strengthening the back is one of the best things you can do to help reduce aches and pains over the long term.

Why it’s worth doing:
• Strengthens the lower back, glutes and hamstrings
• Improves your ability to bend, lift and move with confidence
• Builds endurance in the muscles that support your spine
• Helps create a stronger, more resilient posterior chain

Two exercises. No gimmicks. Just movements that help build strength that carries over both inside and outside the gym.

The week ahead: Power Week. ⚡️

After building our foundation through endurance and hypertrophy, we now move into the next phase of the MadeForMORE Method — Power.

This week the focus shifts to lower rep ranges (3–5 reps), lifting heavier with intent and quality on every set.

Why? Because this is where we begin to turn the muscle and movement we’ve built into real, measurable strength.

Power training helps us:
⚡️ Develop strength
💪 Improve force production
🎯 Reinforce technique under heavier loads
📈 Prepare for benchmark week

This week isn’t about emptying the tank or chasing PBs. It’s about building confidence under heavier loads and setting ourselves up to perform next week when we retest our key lifts.

Build the base. Add the muscle. Now move the weight.

Hypertrophy: the process of increasing the size of your muscles through resistance training 📈

This week our focus shifts to the 8–10 rep range, allowing us to build the muscle that underpins strength, performance, and long-term progress.

This phase isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s about building the foundation that allows us to become stronger, fitter, and more capable.

By increasing muscle mass, we’re not simply adding size — we’re:

💪 Building strength potential: More muscle gives us a greater capacity to produce force in the phases ahead.

🛡 Supporting joints and movement: Stronger muscles help improve stability, control, and resilience.

⚡ Improving performance: More muscle means better output, better recovery, and greater capacity both in training and everyday life.

📈 Raising the ceiling: The muscle we build now becomes the strength we display later.

Every phase of the MadeForMORE Method has a purpose. Endurance built the base, and now hypertrophy allows us to build the engine before we move back into heavier strength work.

Trust the process. Follow the plan. Watch what happens.

Ready to become stronger, fitter, and more capable?
